Isn’t it great how a diner-style restaurant in downtown Napa could have a delicious red wine like this in a half-bottle format? Medium body, laid-back dark fruit, vegetal notes on the nose - crunchy on palate, good acidity, lovely #cabernetfranc that worked so well with a mild green chili burger + farmesan fries. — 9 months ago

Dark ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice, and plum. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. While strong, balanced, and elegant, it opens up with a soft, round palate. Exemplary Napa red. 68 Cab Sauv, 28 Merlot, 2 Cab Franc, 2 Petit Verdot. — 3 months ago

A light to medium weight palate. Tasted blind Barb thought Victorian ie. Giant Steps or Bass Phillip and I must admit that could be so. Savoury red fruits, cherry, raspberry - a burnt toffee note. Soft, smooth fine tannins. A slight hint of tarriness. A good Pinot if not a little expensive. Michael McNamara one of the owners of Prince Wine Store said “one of the best Pinots in 2020”. — 7 months ago

Had on Jet Blue of all places. Dry and smooth, they could have circled all day and I was ok. — 8 years ago
Duncan saved the best for last at his arlequin wine merchant tasting. Tasting through the new chards and pinots, I wondered about how these wines age because they sure seemed tight and the Pinot was even tannic. This 2009 Syrah, however, was wonderful and open, showing all sorts of dark berries, pine, mint, forest-y character, and nice felty tannins. I'd decide to wait on the others, too! — 9 years ago
With its deep garnet hues and long legs this is one enjoyable cab. — 3 months ago

Nice balance, not as rich as I anticipated as many Hyde’s are from Patz. — 4 months ago
An excellent Chardonnay. Rich, fruity and a touch of oaky flavor. — 6 months ago
Enjoying this, though it’s lower tannin than you might find a cab from other CA regions. Blackberry and leather on the nose that moves toward dark chocolate as it opens up. A bit earthy but some dark fruit too. Smooth and velvety, probably not going to age better from here. — 8 months ago
2010 is holding up and tasting fantastic. Get Pinot noir tones with some mineral components. — 4 years ago
